The data set provided information about a single school, Highland Elementary School, located in the 80650 zip code. This school serves elementary-aged students and is part of the Weld County School District No. Re-9. Highland Elementary School has a diverse student population, with a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, and its academic performance is significantly below the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.

Highland Elementary School's CMAS/Science proficiency rate of 33.3% is on par with the district average but below the state average of 37.9%. However, the school's CMAS/ELA and CMAS/Math proficiency rates of 23.9% and 22.4%, respectively, are significantly lower than the state averages of 44.1% and 34.2%. This underperformance is reflected in the school's consistent ranking in the bottom quarter of Colorado elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance.

The high percentage of students (40.8%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Highland Elementary School suggests that the school serves a relatively economically disadvantaged population, which could be a contributing factor to the academic challenges faced by the school. The combination of low academic performance, low school ranking, and high proportion of economically disadvantaged students indicates that Highland Elementary School may benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the specific needs of its student population and improve educational outcomes.
